I agree! Let’s come to terms with the ubiquity lesson of JavaScript and make a proper vm, that for now interplay’s with ubiquitous-JavaScript. But also will not leave out the evolution of other languages or software concerns at the language level. Let’s go down a layer and have a ubiquitous vm. I think the possibilities for this are huge. Before you say “ok but the jvm”, “history repeats” - I don’t think that argument is fair. the jvm was built at a very different time and has its own niche and it’s own bloat. Again, we’re transitioning from JavaScript first. Great things will follow.
